easy grace of the Doctor in an elegant

their church is welded to q member

and satin; next Miss Maybe Allison IN
albatross cloth, trimmed with ribbons,
ostrich tips and pearl ornaments.

at the residence where the ceremony was
performed. The party then rep,ired to
the Mobberly house in carriages, where
the reception was given. In waiting were
about 800 guests, mostly from this place,
composed of the very creme de Ia creme
of this place. The reception, like the
wedding ceremony, was an entire success.
The display of rich toilets was unexcelled
in the history Of Longview. The cspa-
cious dining room was cleared res y for
the ball given by the young men Of the
place, and the dreamy maze began about
1880 p. m, continuing till 12,
